Chapter 1322

"Don't celebrate halfway, wait until you earn the money."

"What champagne?"

"Don't talk big now, wait until the money is in hand before being happy."

Ye Yaodong said, and also dug into his pocket, counted the final payment brought out today, handed it to him, and kept the extra himself.

"When you pay the final payment later, pay it all together, to save everyone from taking out a handful, it's troublesome."

"Okay, thank you brother for pulling me, otherwise I would still be lying at home every day, waiting for my father to support me, and 4 sisters to relieve me."

"You have the nerve to say that."

"Good fate, no choice."

Having 4 sisters who are devoted to their younger brother is indeed a good fate. If placed on the 4 brothers-in-law, that would be eight lifetimes of bad luck!

"Wait until you sail the boat back, your brothers-in-law should be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

A Zheng's action of counting money stopped for a moment, raised his chin to direct him, "You go ask them, aren't they all on the boat?"

"None of my business, it's not sucking my blood."

"Oh, don't say it so ugly, helping the younger brother is what should be done. Each person giving a little is not much. Look, the money I earned these two years, didn't I pay it all back?" A Zheng continued with a smile.

"There is coming and going, I remember their kindness. When New Year comes, I will send a thick year-end gift, and also give the nephews and nieces a big red envelope."

"Next year when going to sea, I will definitely invite them to the boat to work. Family members, help each other when down, and won't forget when rich."

Quite good, fortunately not hopeless to the point of taking it for granted to sponge off parents and sisters.

This is also the reason why he is willing to associate. Conscience is still there, character is also okay, it's just that at first no one helped, no goal, indeed could only rely on sisters to help relieve a little.

Now that he earned money, he also knows to pay it back, there is coming and going.

"Quite good, a family should be like this."

"Then Dongzi, remember to go ask Young Master Hong in a few days. If there are loans, I will also take a big one."

"Know, I remember."

"I'm going to sail the boat, have to hurry back, by the way connect with Xiao Xiao to tell him."

"Hmm."

A Zheng took the money and went up to the wheelhouse again.

After the two boats returned to the port one after another, A Guang came over to talk to him.

"Did A Zheng ask you about the shareholding?"

"Asked, I took the initiative to find him to talk. The boat is already in hand, before it was vague, how to divide it wasn't clear, now we have to pay money, it must be set."

"I also thought about it when I took the money yesterday, and was also thinking, how much money do we have to pay, and was thinking when we pay later, the 4 of us concentrate on saying it clearly."

"It's good to set it now, anyway we have many boats, it doesn't matter if we take more or less here."

"I think so too, it's good to set it in advance."

"Let's go, watch them pay, after paying we can sail back."

"Hmm."

The four of them gathered at the factory, after paying the money and signing the papers, the boat could be sailed back.

Everyone was high-spirited. Originally, they were all idle youths gossiped about and not looked upon favorably by the villagers. Now, they have transformed into ten-thousand-yuan households praised by everyone, and their backs are straight.

The relatives and friends brought around were all joyous and praising them in various ways.

They were all pretending to be humble there.

And their fathers were also glowing with health and speaking polite words...

"Oh, just so-so..."

"What's this..."

"Just one boat, what's there to be stylish about, wait until money is earned..."

"Can't compare to Dongzi, just drink some soup, haha..."

"Make a big fortune next year, have a good New Year this year..."

The people on the two boats waited until before dark, joyously sailed back to the pier in the village. After seeing the shadow of the boats on the pier, they also started setting off fireworks.

At the same time, the fireworks they brought up on the boats also bloomed together, and everyone cheered and shouted a few times.

After the fireworks were finished, there were boats coming to pick them up on the shore, and everyone returned to the pier together.

Sailing the two boats back was also a rare happy event. A Zheng and Xiao Xiao were having such big boats for the first time. The two agreed to take turns treating guests to dinner, one meal in the evening, one meal tomorrow, treating the people who came to help today.

The three Ye brothers didn't go home for dinner in the evening, and after drinking until the middle of the night, they climbed home supporting each other with floating steps.

Lin Xiuqing saw him drunk, muttering in his mouth, "Fortunately didn't fall outside, otherwise would have to sleep on the road for a night..."

She was originally fast asleep, but was woken up after hearing him shouting A Qing outside.

After helping him in, she gave him hot water to wash his face and wipe his hands, took off his clothes and pants, washed his feet, and served him well.

Ye Yaodong looked at her squatting on the ground washing his feet with half-open eyes, and muttered with drunkenness, "Good wife!"

"Didn't go to Party School tonight, then remember to go the day after tomorrow, don't drink the day after tomorrow."

"That means I can still drink tomorrow."

"Drink a little less, otherwise you won't be able to come back, you'll have to sleep on the big road."

"Wouldn't it be good if you came out to find me."

"Think beautifully, I'm already asleep, won't care about you."

"If you don't care about me, there are plenty of people who want to pick me up and take me home, don't cry."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him unhappily. "Stop gilding your own face."

"Cut, I am at least the number one handsome man in the whole village. If it weren't for my bad reputation before, there would be plenty of people scrambling to marry me. Before, there were also plenty of people who wanted to marry me, it's just that their families didn't agree."

"Who wanted to scramble to marry you, tell me."

"Just that... and that... and the neighboring village..."

Lin Xiuqing stopped the work of wiping his feet and pricked up her ears to listen.

"I won't tell you..."

"Sleep your sleep, you'll brag when you're drunk. Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat food, who would marry you, stop gilding your own face."

"You! It's just your good eye, your eye is very good, found a good husband, can enjoy happiness, don't have to worry for the rest of your life, have me to work like a horse for you."

Lin Xiuqing was amused by him, put his feet in the quilt, tucked the quilt for him, and said in a low voice, "It's more like I work like a horse for you, sleep sleep, don't nag."

Ye Yaodong pulled her. "Sleep together."

"I'm going to pour the foot-washing water, you sleep your sleep first."

He let go of his hand and obediently slept first.

When he woke up the next day, his head was splitting, and there was no one beside him.

He pondered that there should be nothing big today, and nothing urgent, pulled the quilt over his head and continued to lie down.

Until his stomach was growling with hunger and he couldn't lie down anymore, he climbed up to go out to eat.

Seeing him get up, the old lady brewed him a cup of strong tea. "Slept until now to get up, wait until it's cooler to drink a sip of strong tea to wake up your brain."

"Hmm, where is A Qing?"

"Got up to work as soon as the sky brightened, unlike you who still lie until now, and still howling there in the middle of the night."

"Just back for two days and you dislike me? Aren't you the one who loves me the most?"

"Compared to your wife, you are lazy."

"Fine fine fine, I'm lazy."

Just back, looking at him with teary eyes, like a sweetheart, and after only a few days, she thinks he's lazy?

Ye Yaodong felt his brain was a bit clearer after drinking the strong tea, went out for a stroll, basked in the sun, watched everyone play cards, and finally felt a bit leisurely.

Back for almost a week, he felt he was running everywhere, only today was a bit free, with nothing urgent to do.

A pile of people at the doorway were sitting there chatting, basking in the sun, and playing cards, basically all young and strong, and some elderly, all nearby neighbors and relatives, mostly that group of people who came back from outside.

Resting for the New Year in advance, everyone was very leisurely. With such good weather recently, no one would think about going to sea to continue working.

Struggled outside for half a year with fear and trepidation, now regardless of whether the weather is good or not, the money is earned enough, it is the time to relax.

The women were still working desperately there. The men who went out came back, which was the time when they had many things to do.

Men outside, women inside.

Mending nets, killing fish.

These past few days, the air was filled with a thick fishy smell, all because the women nearby were mending nets there, the thick smell emitted by those fishing nets.

Fortunately, it wasn't summer, just the smell was a bit thick. People by the sea were used to smelling it. If it were summer, it would be foul-smelling.

There were also some families who had already started cleaning, washing houses, drying dry goods, and preparing for the New Year.

Everywhere was a busy, flourishing scene.

"Adong is here? Play with you..."

"No need no need, I'll just watch."

"Dongzi, want to play? I'll stand up and play for you..."

"You play yours, I'll just watch."

"Adong, not busy today? Want to play cards? Set up another table?"

"Still have things, you play yours..."

No matter where he walked, as long as someone saw him, they would greet him, and then take the initiative to stand up to let him play.

Ye Yaodong waved his hand to refuse. Just got up, he only thought about strolling around, no interest in playing cards early in the morning.

When he strolled to the workshop, Lin Xiuqing was directing several young and strong men to move fishing nets.

He walked up and asked, "All dried?"

"Awake? Almost dried, put them to one side, have to call five or six people to come over to repair tomorrow. We have many boats, many fishing nets, workers take advantage of leisure to wash, dry, and it's today. Wait until mending for two or three days, after repairing, collect them, and it's just right to use after the New Year."

"After mending, just call those women to weave a bigger one for the Ocean-going No. 1 boat."

"No need for you to say, I already let father buy the fishing net thread back two days ago, asked someone to do it. Such a big net, have to weave for a month, just right to take after the New Year."

"That's good."

"You also have to call workers in advance."

"This doesn't matter, didn't we invite twenty-something people last year? Pick a few diligent and honest ones from inside."

"Brother Afan came over this morning, wanted to ask you, the big boat is sailed back, is the boat still lacking people to work? He wants to work on our boat. I said I don't know what your plan is, have to ask you."

"What is he doing now?"

"Not doing much, wherever there is work he goes to do a little here and there. Because of that matter a few years ago, no one in the village is willing to invite him to work. He goes to other villages to work, and can't earn much money."

"Then let him go to the boat to work, go to the Dongsheng. I will hand over the Dongsheng to Chen Laoqi to sail, go to that boat."

He also simply told A Qing about his arrangements for several boats.

"That's fine, invite whoever, Brother Afan looks honest, just put him on other boats to work."

"Hmm, since he came to ask, then count him. Away from home for more than half a year, did the eldest uncle and eldest aunt come to the door to say seven or eight again?"

"No, you and father went out, what else can they come to the door to say? It's useless to tell me. Mother said they are all smiling and fawning when they see her now, not as hard as at the beginning. This is knowing they can't get good, changing ways to want to build a good relationship."

"Finally the brain turned around, knowing to fawn, instead of mentioning requirements as soon as they open their mouths."

"Not stupid, didn't get good several times, also know can't be like this. And watching our three brothers' days passing prosperously, offending us has no benefit, definitely thinking about repairing the relationship."

"Then later you give his wife a reply, or if he comes over, I will tell him again."

"Hmm, then you have to set other workers, to save people coming to the door to ask every day. The workers invited before also come to ask every day, when will the big boat's workers be set."

"I calculate how many people are needed, discuss with father when eating later."

The Ocean-going No. 1 boat is 44 meters, if sailing far, have to invite fourteen or fifteen, later he has to take paper and pen to note down names, sum up.

"Then you go find father to say, don't hinder things here, I still have things to be busy."

"So many people working, what are you busy with?"

"Don't I have to watch here? And if there is anything, they have to come to ask me, I still have to look everywhere to see if there is any omission, or where it's not done well, you think I'm idle? Later have to cook for your whole family."

"Fine."

Ye Yaodong thought being idle is also idle, go find his father first, set the workers to be invited first.

Things that can be solved before the New Year are all solved, then can be at ease for the New Year.

Wait until the afternoon, he pondered he can also go to the town to find Hong Wenle, ask about the progress of the loan.

Damn it, then he is not leisurely today, don't have to run everywhere?

Others can leisurely bask in the sun and play cards as soon as they return, don't have to do anything, he still has to run everywhere.

Deserves him to earn money.
